Create a tag navigation menu

Last Updated: Jul 22, 2014 10:34AM PDT

Cargo uses Sets and tags to organize and filter projects. These will allow you to categorize your content or build different "views" of your website. Each project can have many tags associated with it, while each project and page can only be placed inside one Set.

Depending on the design you're using and the desired format, you may want to organize your content with a tag menu instead.

Inside the project editor, find the “Tag” field inside the project details area and add the relevant tags to each project:

photography, fashion, 2012

To create a navigation menu containing links to these filtered views, navigate to the root of your admin (/admin) and click on “New Link”. In the field “Link text” define the title of the tag you're linking to and set “Link URL” as the following:

With a Cargo URL:

http://cargocollective.com/your-site/filter/fashion

With a personal domain:

http://example.com/filter/fashion

Uncheck “Opens in a new window”.
